        You’re the only one bringing in conservative/liberal ideologies. We talk about it on reddit/lemmy all the time, in our society it’s rich vs poor. This is a poor man seeing issues around him, that we all see too. That poverty is rampant, addiction to deal with it is rampant, we’re working too many hours, we aren’t getting paid enough, and from what we do get paid 25% goes to Uncle Same, while the people in Washington and their buddies pay 10%. Are these not the issues you see, too?

        You see this redneck hillbilly removed about the issues in the U.S. and you just chalk it up to him being a conservative. That furthers our divide and helps the people he’s attributing the issues to: Rich men North of Richmond.

          He’s being paraded and propped up by conservative media. If he’s not conservative, he must be a spy.

            It’s a bluegrass song that talks about issues throughout America. Is Mr. Gambino’s “This is America” inherently left wing because it was huge amongst left wing circles? Does this make Mr. Glover a left wing spy?

          the left hyper-focuses on one line they don’t like, because he just looks like a hillbilly trump supporter

          And you think the other guy is the one bringing ideology into the discussion?

          Well, why doesn’t he blame the origins of his and his kinds poverty to the ones responsible? The abusive, union-busting employers and big corprorations? Because that would actually be honest and understandable. Deflecting the issue to social program recipients just shows lack of understanding how things REALLY work. Also it highlights the importance of a decent education. - Which in the rural Americas seems all but dead. - By design of course (gop).

      "Lord, we got folks in the street, ain’t got nothin’ to eat

      And the obese milkin’ welfare

      Well, God, if you’re 5-foot-3 and you’re 300 pounds
